Electronic Shutter? NX500

Hi,

What are the advantages of using the electronic shutter option (which only replaces first curtain), and the full electronic shutter (using the hack)?

Except of avoiding shutter wear in timelapses, and having inaudible shutter, are there any other benefits?

Is it possible it will result in getting sharper images (prevent shutter shock), or is it just a myth?

Thanks

I seem to be getting sharper images with it, but you do get increased read noise as well so worse dynamic range and low light.

The electronic first curtain? Or the mod?

Full electronic shutter (silent, mod).

Thank you,

With that said, what is the use of the electronic first curtain?
